Q1:

Statement: Many people have expressed surprise as the princess has broken the royal tradition of marriage by choosing a commoner as her life partner. Assumptions:
  1. People expect royal families to observe customs and traditions.
  2. People still value 'purity of royal blood' and 'status' when it comes to a marriage of members of royal family.

A Only assumption I is implicit

B Only assumption II is implicit

C Either I or II is implicit

D Neither I nor II is implicit

E Both I and II are implicit

ANS:E - Both I and II are implicit

Explanation: Since the princess' step has been taken by surprise, it is evident that she was not expected to marry a commoner but a person of equivalent 'status*. So, both I and II are implicit.
